Imagine a Mi6 without a skin
You want the best feature from several different phones. There is no one phone that has the best everything.
Why not? It's fucking 2017 and Android OEMs still trip over themselves when making flagships while jacking the prices up.
They have all the pieces. Pixel camera module with OIS, tons of great screens LCD and AMOLED, S835 is beefy and efficient, 3000+ mAh batteries fit into everything and stock skin isn't exactly rocket science. Moto has no trouble using it.
G5 plus should offer better performance for similar price.
Yeah. I'm thinking I'll go with one once my Nexus 5x stops getting updates. Speaking of which, does Nokia have a update policy, especially security updates?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Jeff is right.
It's not a bad phone, but other competition offer better specs for the same price.
No reason to get the Nokia when the Moto and Alcatel exist with better performance and better efficency.
You'd be stupid to get the Nokia over the Moto.

Those phones are always so damn hideous though.Really looking at that Galaxy S8 Active info with interest.

Sadly, a phone with a cracked screen is more hideous than that

Already using an Otterbox Defender.
The problem is that I usually walk over gravel at work. And my first S8+ fell face down on it. There is no case that can save a screen from that, except Tempered Glass.
Already have suffered a few scares with my 2nd S8+.
Idk, but I don't wanna have to pay another $100 deductible for a third S8+.

have you tried not dropping your phone?
kinda hard these days, feel like each phone company is competing to make the slipperiest shit.
So why is the vibration motor in the s8 leagues better than any other android phone? only one i turn on vibration for keyboard and nav button press, every other phone just feels 'tingy'.

The oneplus 5 is so damn fast. Plus it doesn't even get hot, which is incredible. First phone I've used that doesn't really get hot at all. The S8+ I have can cook eggs. I also love the new build and curves on the OP5. Feels good in the hand
Unfortunately, both OnePlus 5 units I own have the jello effect when scrolling Does yours have it Jeffrey?

yep. seems likely its just a software thing though. doesn't really bother me.
And yeah op5 is stupid fast. s8 could be on snapdragon 400 series chipset in comparison and I'd believe it.

Yeah I powered up my s8+ again after using the OnePlus 5 and it's no comparison. Everything you do on the s8 is just so slow in comparison.

Doesn't project fi already work on any unlock phones once you activate the sim?

I know some phones unofficially work with Fi, but my understanding is that they don't have the network switching ability and only work with T-Mobile. I may be misremembering, though.
OnePlus: Hate the jelly scrolling? Too bad!

This is correct.
Any device that is unlocked can use the SIM as just data on T-Mobile. Since Project Fi works through Hangouts, you can still call/text from that device.

Already rma'd one of mine. Will rma the 2nd as well. I tried to sell but no interest even at cost for them.

OP5 flop
We need AJ back for the hot takes.

I can kinda see it on mine, but if no one had ever said anything, I probably never would have noticed.
It's really not a big deal to me.

8 gigs of ram bruh
How the fuck does this happen with 8 gigs of ram? If OP released this at $400 then this would've be as huge of an issue but the 8 gig variant costs $539.
I'm in the market for a prepaid backup Android device. I could barely one hand the G4 Play and could barely use the G3. What's the best midrange prepaid android device right today?
The Samsung A3 and A5 look nice but both of them don't come with a notification light or my girl IR B but they're barely in the prepaid category.
Woeful quality control
